For Cinzia DaVià, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the approach she applies to all her professional endeavors.

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved. When you purchase through ...

Neutrino physics is a vibrant field of study, with spectacular recent advances. To this day, neutrino oscillations are the only experimental evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model, and, 25 ...

You can’t see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays — high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reveal how surprisingly fragile atomic nuclei can emerge from extreme particle collisions that briefly recreate conditions hotter than the Sun’s core. The ...

Progress in high-energy physics has long relied on electromagnetic calorimeters–total absorption devices used to measure the energy of electrons and photons. Recently, it has been shown that ...

The University of Chicago welcomed representatives from two leading European institutions on Nov. 19 to mark the expansion of science collaboration into the field of particle physics and cosmology.

The proceedings from the first three International Symposiums on the History of Particle Physics, which were held at Fermilab in 1980 and 1985 and at SLAC in 1992. From November 10 to 14, there will ...

Often referred to as the "God Particle," a nickname popularized by physicist Leon Lederman in his 1993 book The God Particle, the term was never meant to imply any religious significance. In fact, ...

The Standard Model, depicting the fundamental building blocks of the universe, including top quarks. Courtesy of Cush via Wikimedia Commons Sitong An, a physicist at Carnegie Mellon University, has ...

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental searches have failed to provide any ...
